Because the number you’re reasoning about is the number of spears he wished for, not half the number he wished for, so mathematically, the logic holds for 3 different possible wished for integer values.
To arrive at precisely 12002 you need to make a further assumption which nobody has explained so far.
Also, a minor point, but that he wished for an integer number of spears is another assumption. Albeit a very reasonable seeming one, it’s an assumption none the less. He could have wished for 12 thousand and π spears, for example. And no, I have no idea what you’d do with that ~14% of a spear.
If this were an SAT question, and upvotes correlated to what people were answering, well, the majority got this question wrong.
You forgot a zero, but yeah. Also I think they’re talking about the movie, not the meme. In the context of the meme we can safely assume he meant 12,002 spears. (Let’s not assume fractional spears are a thing.)

If it’s the pointy end it could still be useful though
1201, 1202, or 1203 spears.
They don’t think it be like it is, but it do.
